[SR: 12839153], Paperback, [EAN: 9780201699548], Peachpit Press, Peachpit Press, Book, [PU: Peachpit Press], Peachpit Press, The handheld Palm III launched a new era in computing, winning millions of devoted fans who wouldn't dream of going anywhere without their Palm to keep track of their schedules, store addresses and phone numbers, make to-do lists, jot down memos, and send and receive email. But learning any new device, even such a small one, can cause anxiety in a novice user. The Little Palm Book is a friendly, reassuring introduction to Palm computing that skips the confusing jargon found in so many other books. Using simple explanations and informative illustrations, the book guides you through the basics of using a Palm computer, shows you how to maximize the power of the built-in applications, and gives you a brief introduction to some of the more advanced Palm features. It covers all the models, including the Palm VII, with its built-in wireless connectivity and Palm.Net online service and its Web Clipping feature, which delivers content from dozens of providers., The Little Palm Book represents a decent introduction to the most rudimentary aspects of the latest models in the Palm series of personal digital assistants (PDAs), including every generation from Palm III to Palm VII. If you need to have your hand held through the initial Palm setup and familiarization process, this book will serve you well. If, however, you've learned the basics of your Palm on your own and want a book to help you with more obscure aspects of the PalmOS and the universe of aftermarket software, you'll find The Little Palm Book dissatisfying. Coverage of the Palm's electronic mail capabilities are strong, though, as are the author's comparisons of the various models. The book does a good job of explaining how to configure your Palm out of the box, and The Little Palm Book deserves praise for the patient introduction of Grafitti letters, numbers, and punctuation marks. It also clearly explains how to do practically everything with the Date Book, Address Book, and other built-in applications. The mode of explaining procedures avoids numbered steps in favor of little stories about how the features can be used--something you may or may not like. The point: buy this one for its coverage of the basics, and then look at David Pogue's PalmPilot: The Ultimate Guide for better coverage of the add-in software available to you. --David Wall Topics covered: Differences among the Palm devices, initial device setup, the Grafitti language, HotSync procedures under Windows and Mac OS, aftermarket software, and Palm.net wireless applications., 10806602011, Personal Computers, 69773, Macs, 69774, PCs, 549652, Hardware & DIY, 5, Computers & Technology, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 3740, Networks, Protocols & APIs, 3742, COM & DCOM, 3743, CORBA, 3744, ISDN, 3745, LAN, 69960, LDAP, 3747, Networks, 3749, ODBC, 170900, SNMP, 3624, TCP-IP, 132568011, WAN, 3652, Networking & Cloud Computing, 5, Computers & Technology, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 3756, Operating Systems, 3781, BSD, 3849, Linux, 377537011, Macintosh, 3788, Solaris, 3778, Unix, 10806619011, Windows, 5, Computers & Technology, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 4053, Software, 69760, Accounting, 6133990011, Adobe, 10806626011, Databases, 10806627011, Design & Graphics, 4164, E-mail, 10806628011, Enterprise Applications, 271582011, Mathematical & Statistical, 10806637011, Microsoft, 132553011, Optical Character Recognition, 4169, Personal Finance, 10806632011, Presentation Software, 10806633011, Project Management Software, 69761, Quickbooks, 10806634011, Spreadsheets, 10806635011, Suites, 4072, Utilities, 300354, Voice Recognition, 10806636011, Word Processing, 5, Computers & Technology, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books<
